Chapter 261 Burn it to Ashes
Chapter 261 Burn to ashes
What a mess.
Fortunately, the International Gene Cooperation Company has absorbed a large number of Osborne Group's industries, otherwise there would not even be a place to treat the wounded.
Most of the injured have minor injuries, either bruises or sprains, and can be discharged from the hospital with simple treatment.
A few were scratched by fragments and debris, and a very few were hit by stray bullets, losing a lot of blood.
In normal times, this kind of thing would be quite difficult to deal with. After all, blood resources have never been abundant and are extremely expensive. But here, the most indispensable thing is blood.
Lear and the governor walked quickly towards the hospital, saying as they walked:
"The NYPD has obtained the shooter's route map and will soon be able to find where they started.
Secondly, Martin has caught the two guys who were manipulating the modified man behind the scenes, but he can't find out anything.
Apart from knowing that Harenreich is the CEO of Cyber Technology, is there anything else you can find there? "
The governor nodded. He hardly suffered any serious injuries, but the prosthetic body replenished some energy.
"We found someone here, William Rawlings, from the Rawlings family. I heard that he joined the army before. I don't know why he got involved."
"It doesn't matter, we can ask from the target - are you sure this person's name is Frank Custer?"
"Of course, you won't know if you don't check, but you will be shocked when you check. He was a celebrity before, a celebrity in the Marine Corps, with outstanding achievements. When you search online, you will find a photo of him and the previous president.
But I disappeared for a while. I guess you understand that this matter is very deep. What are you going to do? "
The two stopped in front of the special care ward, but Leal thought in his heart: This name is not ordinary, Frank Custer, a former Marine Corps captain.
In a series of Marvel comics, there is another name: The Punisher.
This is an extreme anti-hero who will resort to various lynchings against criminals. As a human being, his combat effectiveness is already at its ceiling.
This is a character without much origin. No matter how he changes it, he is basically a veteran who was abandoned by the government. His wife and children all died in the liquidation.
It is this guilt and regret that makes his behavior extremely extreme, because what he has experienced is very extreme.
But not this time.
Leal said: "It would be better if the water was deep. I don't know how many things this bomb can explode."
"Wait a minute." The governor held down Lear, "This is against the rules, many politicians."
Leal looked at the governor and began to think about how to convince the governor and their party to make this matter bigger.
Politicians will have disagreements, but generally speaking, such disagreements only exist internally.
If Frank's matter is serious enough to implicate the government, the opposition party will consider negotiating with the other party in private to deal with it.
After thinking about it for a while, Lille found that it was very difficult to convince. Moreover, since the governor said this, it means that this is the current opinion of the opposition party.
To convince them, Lear had to contact them one by one, but strictly speaking he was just a political newcomer.
Few in the opposition party have any friendship with him, so it is unrealistic to convince a party in such a short period of time.
You still have to rely on the trick of cutting first and then playing.
Of course, some superficial work still needs to be done, at least to get a stage where you can kill first and play later.
"So the assassination is within the rules?" Leal said, "Governor, don't be naive, the assassination itself has already touched the bottom line in your opinion.
Making this matter a big deal and putting the ruling party on the fire is what we should do. "
"No, Lear, listen to me, even if we advocate peace and they advocate war, we still have to consider the national image.
Let us resolve matters within the military internally. Some things are inappropriate and should be made public. "
"Do you know what it is?" Lear raised his eyebrows.
"I don't know, and I don't need to know. This is how we do things." The governor shook his head:
"But I guarantee that we can get enough benefits, and the same goes for Mr. Custer inside."
Leal looked at the governor - this was a typical politician who was psychologically attached to the national level.
No matter what the facts are, he is not willing to do such things that will harm the country. In his view, any struggle between the two parties and the division of interests need to be distributed at the national level.
A simple summary is that he likes to "take into account the overall situation", and his overall situation is Berry Country.
But Lille doesn't think so: it's this kind of thinking that has put the opposition at a disadvantage in previous struggles.
What the enemy wants to do is global, and you have to look at it from a global perspective.
There is also technical proof: the program is out of control largely because Hydra’s surveillance has become pervasive and involves the entire world.
"Governor, did you know that just now, the global network experienced severe fluctuations?"
The governor was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I know, but what does that have to do with the current affairs? Shouldn't we discuss the matters here first?"
Riel looked at the governor
It's not like he's lying, he really doesn't understand and lacks sensitivity to similar things.
If he was careful, he would immediately check the impact of the fluctuations.
But it doesn't matter, there will always be someone who understands, and the governor is just a representative of the opposition party.
"Okay." Lear nodded, "I understand, but the soldier also has to attend. The ruling party's promise is nothing but fart. My witness here is just aggrieved. I don't want him to have no security guarantee. "
The governor looked at Lille in surprise: "Of course you can, but you have to do it for someone you haven't met a few times."
"Credit is established by oneself." Lille looked at him and continued, "Moreover, don't you think that such a soldier with outstanding merits, no matter what he did is heinous or not.
But soldiers are required to have no sense of self, right? Now Berry Country wants to betray him. "
These words made the governor's expression somewhat unclear, and he sighed: "If we were in power, this would not be the case."
Finally, he patted Lear on the shoulder: "Also, if you want to get involved in politics, you must learn to make mistakes. This is not a place suitable for honest people."
Lear nodded: "Maybe, but I'm the kind of person who prefers to tell the truth."
"But there is also good news today: Do you remember the policies I promised? They are already in place. I guess with the current network situation, I should even send you the infrastructure list."
"my pleasure."
The governor smiled and looked at the door of the special care ward. He should go in with Leal to confirm Frank's thoughts.
But having said that, he felt that there was no problem in leaving it to Lille.
This young man is very obedient and capable, but he is a bit younger.
The only request is for Frank to appear in court, which is actually not an excessive request:
After all, if you want to coerce the other party to transfer benefits, naturally you have to do it more realistically, the more realistic the better.
Considering the two aspects, he might as well return to his job as soon as possible and make plans for what is to come.
This time he had a near miss, and it was time to reap the rewards.
So he thought for a while and said: "Forget it, I won't go in, I'll leave it to you. I have to return to California as soon as possible.
Before I leave, I would like to ask your opinion. Do you think I will encounter the same attack as last time? "
Theoretically, Hydra is already too overwhelmed by server explosions to have time for this.
However, Lille still thought for a moment and said: "If you are worried, I suggest you hire Xin'an Security. These bodyguards are definitely more reliable than the people around you."
"Okay. I'll think about it. Happy cooperation, young man."
The governor showed a very hearty smile, shook hands with Leer, then turned and left.
Lille opened the operating door and strode in——
Frank was the most seriously injured in the whole incident. He was shot three times, one of which was in the ribs and the other two near the spine.
I didn't feel anything at the time, but the intense activity for so long had caused nerve damage.
The strong man is now lying on the bed unable to move. Thanks to mature brain-computer interface technology, Lear has cut off the nerve signals near the wound and blocked the pain.
Otherwise, Frank will faint in less than a second.
His wife was on the other bed. She was shot in the lower abdomen and lost a lot of blood, but she had been rescued and was resting.
Two children took a nap next to their mother's bed.
Frank kept his eyes open.
"I guess you are here to persuade me, to persuade me to tell the truth selectively, and then you will give me some benefits."
Lear sat down in front of Frank and smiled meaningfully: "So you are very unhappy."
"Of course I'm unhappy. It's not against you. I just don't know what to think."
Frank looked at the ceiling with empty eyes: "Decades of service, dozens of life and death, so many sacrifices, only in exchange for this.
I don’t need any benefits, I just need you to protect me and my family, and then I have some teammates.”
"Wait a minute, don't keep nagging on your own."
Leal took an apple from the table and unbuttoned his suit.
The vulgar tone and sudden change in aura stunned Frank on the hospital bed.
His eyes were no longer empty, it could be said that he was a little confused.
Lear took a bite of the apple and put one hand on the chair.
"Since you are unhappy, do you want to join me and burn the thing that makes you unhappy to ashes?"
Sorry to be late again today. I will continue to update QAQ tonight. I will come back and try to code more to gain root.
